On the surface of it, I look back fondly at those times. It was certainly a good environment to learn about computer basics. But realistically, I also recall getting pretty frustrated at times. Such as when I just wanted to play Wing Commander: Privateer, but had to spend hours messing with memory settings in `autoexec.bat`/`config.sys` and rebooting just to get it to run. And then I had to spend hours more fiddling with the memory settings, IRQs and the like, just so I could get sound from my Gravis Ultrasound/Soundblaster instead of the PC speaker. But still, I can't help but feel nostalgic!
